"Raid" persists in the narrative established in the painting "Encroachment." In the unique setting of the southern ocean, it investigates the evolving power dynamics between humans and plants, with a particular emphasis on environmental concerns associated with offshore drilling and oil spills. The artwork is a visual catalyst for environmental reflection and action, emphasizing the delicate balance between human activities and the natural world in this frequently overlooked region. It invites the discussion of our shared responsibility to protect and preserve the fragile ecosystems in our midst and allows them to imagine a potentially bleak future shaped by the profound effects of long-term, severe climate change.
